Underlining fingering instructions without loosing positioning
I'm trying to have underlined fingering instructions in Lilypond v.
2.12.3. - On a button accordion this would mean that the "helper rows"
(I don't know the English term) should be used instead of the main rows.
I've seen different posts about this, but in every case, the solution
has had to do with using \markup. I've been using something like:
^\markup{\finger \underline "3"}
This approach works fine in simple cases, but if the music contains
slurs, the spacing between the slur and the fingering instructions vary.
This doesn't look very good, and it makes the fingering harder to read.
The example below shows the problem:
c'4-1( d-2 e-3 f-4 g-5)
c,4^\markup{\underline \finger "1"}( d-2 e-3 f^\markup{\underline
\finger "4"} g-5)
The \finger apparently ensures the correct font, but is there some
command to make it "behave" or position itself like a fingering instruction?
Regards,
Morten

Solving espressivo problem

Can anybody help?

The Lyrics should be associated with a "Voice":

Merging stems with three voices on one staff
I have three parallel voices on one staff. The stems of two of the

looks a bit cluttered with respect to both stems and beams.

How to change clef style

Re: How to change clef style
From that section it's clear, how I can insert different kinds of ancient clefs, but I already have a large collection of pieces, where I've used \clef "G", \clef "G_8" and \clef "F". I would like to change the look of them without having to edit all the documents. Since they all include the same file, I hoped for a way to globally change the look of the clefs. Maybe it's clear from that section as well, but then I just don't get it... Sorry! Morten Mats Bengtsson wrote: See the section on "Ancient clefs" in the manual.

Re: Real-world usage of Lilypond
You might want to contact Wilco van den Tol. As far as I remember he worked out a project like this a few years ago. Greetings Morten Christ van Willegen skrev: ...although we all are in 'the real world' (or at least think we are :-) ) Recently, I was attending a speech by one of the leading people being busy with compiling a new book of church songs for The Netherlands (or at least the Calvinist/Lutheran part of it). When the speech was finished I asked him if it was appropriate to point him to software that does music engraving. He said that it was and took out paper and a pen. When I dropped the name Lilypond he put away paper and pen. And told me that they were already looking into using Lilypond... So, here's a serious example of the usage of Lilypond in the real world. I was wondering if perhaps 'we' were able to help him, by: - Engraving songs for publishing, making them 'as good as possible'; - Extending Lilypond to (more easily?) accomodate engraving of church music. Two examples that I can think of are: Setting rests at the end of a system, and making music centered and not left aligned; - Any other advice/techniques/additions/modifications we can think of. Are there any people out there that would be willing to help make this possible? Perhaps some Lilypond funding could be possible (it is, after all, a commercial undertaking), and at least it can be shown that Lilypond is ready for world usage.

Single notes among chord names

to search for, when you don't know the name...
What I currently have is the following:
chordNames = \chordmode {

Skipping syllables from lyrics
Hi, I have some choir pieces, where all voices are singing the same verses, but in some places one voice is omitting one or a few words. Is there some way of skipping syllables from the lyrics from within the voice context. Like entering "null notes" that would be bound to lyrics but cause them to not be rendered? For example in the music for the tenor voice I would like to enter "skip 2 syllables from the lyrics at this point". My current alternative is to create lyric snippets for all the consecutive parts and then glue them together for each voice. But with just a few skipped words in a couple of voices it quickly becomes unmanageable. Alternatively I could have complete copies of each verse for each voice, but making corrections to that is not very attractive. Any ideas for a better approach are highly appreciated. Best regards, Morten
Music generated by function confuses relative pitch
Hi,
I am trying to create a set of functions to help me set up songs with
divisi lyrics. When I generate a midi file with the unfolded music, I would
like it to have the different rhythms in the different voltas. I get some
unexpected results with regards to pitches.
I have tried to create a small example, the exhibits some of the same
challenges as what I am facing with my divisi helpers:
\version "2.24.1"
double =
#(define-music-function (music)(ly:music?)
(let ((notes (ly:music-property music 'elements)))
(make-music 'SequentialMusic
'elements
(list
(make-music 'SequentialMusic
'elements notes)
(make-music 'SequentialMusic
'elements notes)
\relative c' {
\double {e4 e}
}
There are several things that confuses me with the output of this:
1. The first note is an octave higher than I would expect (it is e'')
2. The second note is an octave higher than the first. The third and
fourth are the same as the first and second.
3. If I remove one of the "make-music" from the list, both remaining
notes get the same pitch at the expected e'.
4. If I change the music expression by lowering the last note an octave:
\double {e4 e,}
Then I will get all four notes on the same pitch (e').
It seems the musical construct I generate is confusing the relative
function. There are clearly some fundamentals regarding generating music
from functions that I have missed.
If someone could help shed some light on why I get the output I do, it
would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Morten
Re: Music generated by function confuses relative pitch
Hi Jean,
Thank you so much for that clear and thorough explanation. I was so caught
up in my functional transformations, that I didn't even stop to think if
mutation could be at play. I sprinkled a handful of deep-copies over my
functions and voila!
- and thanks again! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me
understand and explain these details.
Best regards,

Composing music functions
Hi,
I'm trying to create some tools for setting choir pieces. I have run
against a problem where I have a music function that needs the result of
another music function. That other function uses a Lilypond code block, so
it takes both parser and location. For reasons I don't understand, I cannot
get this to work. Lilypond gives me a:
Wrong type to apply: #>
I have tried to create a small toy example to show what I want to achieve:
rest-around = #(define-music-function (parser location music ) (ly:music?)
#{ r4 $music r4 #})
restful-choir = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
(let ((rest-around (rest-around parser location music)))
#{
<<
\new Voice { \voiceOne \transpose c g $rest-framed }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo $rest-framed }
>>
#}))
music = { c' d' e' }
\score {
\new Staff { \restful-choir \music }
}
I have run into this problem a couple of times, the current problem I'm
trying to solve is: I have a list of music an I am trying to map each item
of the list with a function that creates a staff with the music. Afterwards
they should be combined as 'SimultaneousMusic. I would like to use Lilypond
code blocks where I think it is clearer than the Scheme counterpart.
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong, or am I perhaps completely off
on this approach...?
Best regards,
Morten

Hi,
Thank you for your answer - seems so much good is coming :-). Lilypond is
just amazing!
- and also a lesson to myself about checking renames in example code :-)

Dynamically outputting \books
Hi,
I am trying to create a procedure to create rehearsal midi files for each
voice of a choir piece. In order to do that I need to be able to
dynamically create \book blocks (one for each voice). Is that possible? I
have tried to have a music function output it like:
rehearsalMidi =
#(define-music-function
(parser location)
()
#{ \book { .. } #})
but that gives me an error:
music function cannot return #
Is there some way to dynamically create book blocks?
Thanks,
Morten

Get name of music object
Hi, Music objects are created with a name and some properties: make-music name music-properties I know how to get the properties from a music object - but how about the name? I cannot figure out how to get the name from a music object. It is difficult to search for since the word "name" pops up everywhere. The only thing I found was a function to search by name: extract-named-music. Best regards, Morten
Rhythmic pattern in MIDI
Hi,
I have a small piece with a rhythmic pattern like this:
\tempo \markup {
\rhythm { 8[ 8] } = \rhythm { \tuplet 3/2 { 8(8) 8 } }
}
Does anybody know of a way I can perform the same mapping on the generated
MIDI file? I would like to generate a rehearsal file for the piece. It
should follow the rhythmic pattern, but I would like to avoid typing the
music in twice.
Best regards,
Morten
Creating score with unfolded repeats in scheme
Hi,
I am experimenting with a system to create choir rehearsal midi files. A
part of that is to unfold repeats. I have a function that accepts a score
and creates a new score. The steps are:
1. Extract the music from the score
2. Unfold the repeats
3. Make a new score
For some reason only the first note of the score is repeated and I get a
"programming error: Moment is not increasing. Aborting interpretation."
When I try to display-scheme-music of the unfolded music it looks like
everything is there, but it is not included in the final score.
I have tried to create a minimal example that reproduces the issue. It is
pasted below.
So the question is: what have I misunderstood? :-)
Best regards,
Morten
\version "2.24.2"
choirScore = \score {
\new Staff {
\relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 {
c d e f
}
}
}
}
make-rehearsal =
#(define-scheme-function
(the-score)
(ly:score?)
(ly:make-score (unfold-repeats-fully (ly:score-music the-score
new-score = #(make-rehearsal choirScore)
\new-score
Re: Creating score with unfolded repeats in scheme
Hi Hans,
Thank you for the pointer - that sounds a lot like what I am trying to
achieve. I will certainly take a closer look at that.

Re: Creating score with unfolded repeats in scheme
Hi David,
Thank you for the swift and precise response. That was exactly it. When I
am in search of new functionality, I usually search this page for keywords:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/internals/scheme-functions
That was how I found the ly:make-score. Is there some way of deducing if a
function is intended to be called directly or is only an internal utility
function?
Best regards,
Morten

Having a lot of text under one note
Hi all on the list.
This is my first posting to this list, so pls forgive me if I'm asking
silly questions.
We are aiming at getting some modern churchmusic to print, and have come
to stop by a problem concerning one bar. According to the manuscript the
bar consists of a whole note with a lot of text under. The following
example shows what we have accompliched till now. Only to see that part
of the text falls over the clef and to the left of the system. When one
of these bars is in the middle of a system, apparently the right part of
the text will be missing.
Could you tell me how to extend the measure to give room for all of the
text?

Difference in in output between LP and lilypond-book
Hi I am trying to put together some LP files with LP-book running LP (2.2.6) gives a very satisfying result. When running LP-book everything seems to go smoothly except when converting the .dvi to .pdf (dvipdf).

If you do, try uninstalling both of them and then installing one of them. If you have both installed (without doing some fancier unix stuff), I'm not surprised that Lilypond gets confused with font issues.

Scheme attempt gives 'unknown escape string' error - any hints appreciated
Hi all
Im writing a small sceme function to be able to create examples of
guitar fingerings
for various scales.
basically i create a music function "fretsc" to be called for example as

However I get an "unknown escape string" for \fret while compiling.

Keyboard chord figure in scheme
Hello all
I'm trying to make a scheme function that generates a keyboard with
black and white dots for showing specific chord layouts
The code below compiles and produces the keyboard figure
I then call a function (make-dot key) which works fine. What I really
want is
(make-dot-list '(1 5 8)) which should produce a black dot on c, a white
dot on ees and a
black dot on g (for a C major chord).
I suspect that somehow only the last empty-stencil is returned but have
been unable
to solve my problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this?
Best regards
Morten (newbie scheme programmer)

Re: Keyboard chord figure in scheme
Hi Carl Thanks for the hint - I guess it wasn't clear to me when and where ly:stencil-add was needed. Now the code works, although there still are som FIXME's. For example the black keys are generated by thick lines, but unfortunately they have rounded caps. But I have submitted my code to the snippet repository any way, so hopefully others can benefit from your help too.

First of all, congratulations on this attempt. It's very good. You are correct. You are only returning the empty stencil. You need the following: #(define (make-dot-list l1) (if (null? l1) empty-stencil (ly:stencil-add (make-dot (car l1) (make-dot-list (cdr l1 This way, you are adding all the stencils. Previously, you were not doing anything with the make-dot stencil. It was getting created, then thrown away. Good luck!
